The team made it in about 11pm on Saturday night. They were ready for a bed. Mary got them all settled and I woke up to say hi.
Sunday morning we had breakfast and then went to church at Rose of Sharon in León. It is a fairly large church and has a wonderful praise band. The church is nice, but does not have fans. It is always excruciatingly hot in there. We enjoyed the music very much and John gave his testimony and Ralph shared the message. There were baptisms after the main service and we ended up leaving before they were all done. 3 hours in that hot building was all we could take. It was a very worshipful morning!
We came home and had grilled chicken and mashed potatoes for lunch. It was sooo good. Pilar is our main cook now and Sherry is working with her to train her on some really good recipes. The food has improved tremendously this summer! A little rest and some work on ministry supplies for the Fiestas this week and then we were ready for church at Rose of Sharon at the Country Club community. It was a nice day of worship.
Today we did a Fiesta just this side of León. We enjoyed it very much. Then we did a Fiesta and Feeding at the Rose of Sharon church from last night. There were over 90 professions of faith today. There were almost 100 kids fed, too. It was extremely hot and muggy. We were ringing wet. We were inside a building and even though the walls did not go all the way up, there was no breeze inside. After we did the Fiesta, we were trying to fill in time till the food was ready to serve. We sang all the praise songs we knew in Spanish. Then we let the kids come up and sing a song and get a prize. It was 'open mike night' at the church! The kids were so precious. Finally, we got to serve the food and the kids were soooo thankful. We really enjoyed our day.
We dropped the translators off in León and headed back to the house for lunch of shredded beef, rice, beans, cabbage salad and tortilla. It was tasty!! Then some rest and we headed back into town mid-afternoon so the team could have ice cream and some shopping time at the park. I grabbed a few items and Haley and I went to a variety store to get a few more things for my room here. Then we headed to Suyapa for a great dinner. I just love the grilled fish there!
Back home and time for a refreshing shower and some computer work. It's past my bedtime now and 5am comes early! So I think I'll close for now and go to sleep. God is so faithful to fill each day with wonderful encounters with His people. I'm so blessed to be here serving Him. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
